This book is a collection of excerpts and quotes from the works of various authors, secular historians and church theologians, revealing the essence of the two-thousand-year struggle against Orthodoxy of dark forces, no matter what guise they are hidden under. The main purpose of the collection is to warn Orthodox Christians that Catholicism is not a sister church, but a religious and political aggressor organization calling itself the Church of Christ. In the course of the story, other topical topics are also touched upon - about the historical role of Russia in the world, about globalization, about the decline of faith and morality in modern society. The book is intended for everyone who is concerned about the preservation of the Orthodox faith and the revival of the Fatherland - Holy Rus'.
